I received an email from VFS that I should submit my port within 2 days. Do I need to book an appointment with VFS or I can just walk into the VFS office and submit my port? I submitted my study application on the 12th of December 2022.

I will appreciate anyone's suggestion.

I don't use to come here often.

But I guess I will respond to your question.


When submitting visa application, submit all the documents you can get, I mean all documents you have, especially those one that can prove that you have enough money.
Every country is looking for people that will bring money to their country to their economy.

So in your case submit both

Rand is available .

Hello, my dad has a permanent residence in SA and I want to travel there too for the second time, the first time was in 2016.

I'm well above 18, is it adviseable to apply for a relative visa or the normal visiting visa?

Hello everyone , a friend needs help urgently please.

I believe so. The rule will be "Cut your coat according to your size"
If they are tourists, then they should explore low-budget places to visit such as Iziko museum, Zeits museum is free for Africans with ID card on Weds. Table mountain experience is not cheap so they need to prioritize their sightseeing. Feeding and movement should come first since accommodation is sorted. If this money is including shopping then they need to set budget boundaries. All in all, the money is reasonable

I have rands available for sale
DM!!!

My sister SA visitor visa application to visit her husband who is doing a PhD in South Africa was rejected with this reason - Marriage Certificate is not authenticated.

She authenticated it tho at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs before submitting it.

Any advice on how to make it better and reapply?

If you can manage, Yes.

I ensured to submit all the required documents. I also attached screenshots of my news publications to my application. I had a letter from a referee in South Africa who vouched for me. Also I have a really good travel history, so I assume that helped as well.

Lastly, I submitted my application together with my port

Abeg, I want to ask those that have applied for Long term visas for Sa in the past and recent times. Is it the Police Clearance from South Africa that is needed or Police CLEARANCE from Nigeria?

SA police clearance. 170 rands, You get it in the Police station, fill the form and finger print. It is usually ready in 4 - 6 weeks, but no magomago on it, It is a Physical thing.

I don’t live in Southy anymore. Was thinking I could do it at the embassy/high commission. My new job is requesting for police clearance from any country I have lived in the past 10 years.
